"I navigate an abyss that lies somewhere between Alan Watts and Hunter S. Thompson. Zen in one hand, Gonzo in the other. Zen being a more formal and learned hand, for thinking beyond the act of viewing. Gonzo a response to the absurdity of the zeitgeist. Immediate and often ridiculous. Mandala, like bathtub LSD is the Zen/Gonzo result of receiving a box of porcelain doll parts." --Terri Lloyd
Terri Lloyd is a multidisciplinary artist living and working in Los Angeles. Volunteerism and community arts projects have been a prominent part of her activities. In 2010 she founded a non-profit feminist arts group for women over the age of 40. She has authored two books, When I Grow Up And Other Mantras and The Little Red Book Of Commie Porn, a collaboration with artist Norman Conquest. Both are now out of print. The death of her father in late 2017 was the catalyst for a return to painting.
During the pandemic lock-down of 2020, Terri saw the effects of trauma. This prompted her to move beyond the canvas and explore other manifestations of art making. Terri’s work has been collected by weirdos across the U.S., Europe and Australia.
